Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag says he's satisfied with the ground game of David de Gea.

It's been suggested Ten Hag has doubts about the goalkeeper due to his passing skills.

But he insisted at his Europa League presser: "The focus for me, the main part of the goalkeeper, is always the clean sheet, protect his goal, that's the main part. But nowadays in football, it's also important he can do something with his feet.

"There was maybe in the past a different style for him. But from the first day I was here, but also before, I saw some video content and you see David is capable to do it. When I see David playing our possession game, he is very composed. He is very good in boxes so it's no problem for David to do that.

"He proved in the last games in that aspect he will grow and grow. And the other part, what is the most important, keep doing that, keep progressing and keep more clean sheets."
